E . M. Butler, W . H. Dent, A. K. Watson, A. D. Ramsay, J. T. Sanderson, W . A. R. Young, and G. B. Bovill are all leaving, and the four left behind are M. G. Dauglish, E . Crawley, H . F. Kemp, and C. H. Benton. Butler, the captain, is going to Trinity College, Cambridge; Bovill and Wat­ son are bound for Oxford. is a vefcyfair bat, but a little uncertain at the start. His great reach gives him advantages of which he makes the fullest use. He will always be a likely run-getter, but will never be re­ liable against the best bowling. In bowling Ramsay was, perhaps, the best of the Harrovians. He started the season brilliantly, but the hard grounds later on were against him. Young bowls the most difficult ball of a n y ; with a good deal of spin he makes it get up very quickly from the pitch, and with a smart wicket-keeper and short-slip should always get a few wickets. Bovill is a fair medium bowler, but I fear not quite up to University form. Sqm e time ago I announced that Messrs. Longman and Co. con­ templated the issue of a series of volumes dealing with sports of every kind, under the editorship of the Duke of Beaufort, and to be called “ The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes.” It is now stated that the first volume of the series will appear on Oct. 1. Mr. William Yardley, as I previously stated, will be responsible for the volume on “ Cricket,” while Lord Walsingham, better known to cricketers as Hon. T. De Grey, who played for ihe Gen­ tlemen some twenty years ago, wiJl assist Sir Ralph Payne Gallwey in that on “ Shooting.” The Duke of Beau, fort is to be assisted in his editorial duties by Mr. A. E . T. Watson, that most pleasant of gossips, “ Rapier,” of the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. T h ,e last named should have a suc­ cessful career at Oxford. He is a fine bat, with very fair defence, and watches the ball closely. His driving, too, is wonderfully hard and clean. Crawley, who helped him so well at Lord’s, and who stays on for another year, is also a good bat. His defence is excellent, but his all-round play would be improved if only he could add several inches to his stature. Butler T he name of Mr. W. H . Grenfell, the stroke of the University eight which crossed the Channel from Dover to Calais on Saturday, will be familiar to many C r ic k e t readers. Mr. Gren­ fell played for Harrow against Eton in 1878, and in the following year, not only gained the school bowliug prize, but that for most catches. He made, too, a high reputation subsequently at Oxford as an all-round athlete. He represented the University against Cambridge in the Three Miles Race at Lillie Bridge in 1876, and also rowed in the eight in the two succeeding years. He was in his time, President both of the Oxford Athletic as well as Boating Clubs, a dual distinction very rarely recorded. Ho is, I believe, a member of the famous cricketing fraternity, I Zirigari. If I mistake not, he was M.P. for Salisbury.
